Question Moving to Rathdrum-best places to meet people

Good morning to all,
After lots of searching for my retirement home, I've settled on Rathdrum. I will be in my home by May 08 - and totally looking forward to becoming a resident and living the good life.
Does anyone have suggestions on the best places to meet people -
How about places in Rathdrum for volunteer work?
I have lots of interests - want to explore the area towns, take advantage of the hiking trails, photography, genealogy, history.
I currently live in So California and really want to fit in to my new home. Any attitude will be left at the California border
So far I've made one friend there--so where/how do you meet new friends??
Just looking to find some new friends that like to go hiking, out to eat and shopping.
Thanks for your help

Not living in Rathdrum, I'm not a ton of help on this one, but in nearby Post Falls and Hayden/CDA there are tons of things to do, ways to get out there socially. You may also want to check out the goings on in Spirit Lake and see what's going on up there socially. Sandpoint has a ton of socializing opportunities, but we're about 40 miles from you.

CDA Press Newspaper has things listed in the area:
Coeur d'Alene Press Newspaper - Local and National News - Kootenai County, Idaho

Spokane/CDA Craigslist also has some opportunities:
spokane / coeur d'alene activity partners classifieds - craigslist (Activities)
spokane / coeur d'alene groups classifieds - craigslist (Groups)
spokane / coeur d'alene volunteers classifieds - craigslist (Volunteer opportunities)

Hope this helps...

The best way to meet people in this area, that I have found, is just being outgoing and inviting in your personality! I have met some great friends from mere small talk!

And you know...Rathdrum SEEMS smaller. Sign says it has over 4000 residents, but it doesn't feel very big...

Theres a very cool 50's style Hot Rod cafe in Rathdrum(cant remember the name).. It seems like people are very sociable there. The food is good, and the atmosphere is great. Not to be confused with The Hot Rod Cafe in Post Falls which is REALLY cool

Granny's Pantry on Highway 53 looks like a place where locals would hang out. Every time I drive by I wish I had time to stop and try it.
